I have used Sargent Motorcycle Seats in the past, they are good but are not that cheap. Smile

I have also got to sort something out for the VFR, stock is not that great for distance. Disapprove

Thanks for that Pheonix but i've just had a look and they don't do one for the ZZR, shame cos they're not the most expensive that's for sure!

I thought you'd have typed 'motorcycle' before 'seat modifiers'.pmsl Try caulfieldleather.co.uk  , manchester based company, there is loads more who don't modify toilets.

I started to get some problems on my recent trip to the alps even on a BMW but i put it down to the heat. I invested in an AIRHAWK seat pad which cost 100 euro and is adjustable for pressure. It's like sitting on a waterbed but it also allows air passage between the cells so also has a cooling effect. It may not work for you but then again it might so could be worth a try, definatly cheaper than a new seat.

2T I did type motorcycle but only got shite for first two pages and got bored LOL

Thanks for that Dumas I'll have a butchers.

After reading that link I posted and understanding the way the seat works I changed my posture only slightly today and rode for 5 hours without any major problems Thumbs Up

Apparently some of the long haul guys use the inflatable seats as sold by different manufacturers, I personally found the 'Gell' seats way overhyped, and dammned useless in reality. Got my Fireblade seat re-done with it, and was no different to the original seat, a big £80 disappointment. An old trick that I have used in the past on long hauls was one I read many years ago in an old bike book, and that was to fold a decent quality towel and sit on that. It did work actually, really did get rid of all the vibration! Plus, it was free! The one downside is all the smart ass comments you'll get when you arrive at 'meets'.....

i got caulfield leather to do mine, it was £120 for rider and pillion gel cushions, its not far from where i work so i took it in but he charges £10 extra for P&P which i reckons pretty fair. Gel cushions and some cycling shorts work fine for me and i'm all over the place and everyone who's rode pillion reckons its a big improvement.

Maybe your arse is just too fat, I always find if I am doing more exercise running etc to muscle up that long trips like I do are easier to cope with..... a lot of numbness is down to circulation yes even in the nether regions so try that for a while even some squats 3 or 4 times a day running up and down stairs a few times two or three times a day would help with the glutious maximus and the circulation lolLOL    as my old pti used scream at the troop run fat boys run pays to be a winner lolLOL   As for the pillion, Rusty if you suggest the above to her your a braver man than me pmsl

you've got a point about the fitness thing, i used to have a problem where i'd get a sudden attack of cramp when i was going long distance which is unbelievably painful on a sit up and beg where you can't stretch your legs out. I took up running again and a few months later it stopped, my arse still gets sore on long trips but i put that down to having ridden 100+ miles so its time for a break anyway.
